Hi @Mornington Glory, I'm trying to verify some of the citations here so we can remove the cleanup tags (as part of the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anarchism#Cleanup drive). Would you have digital copies of the Assistant Librarian and The Bookseller sources? And do you have the complete citation for the 1975 Peace News article? czar 19:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Czar thanks so much for your help. I'm a real beginner with so much to learn.
Sadly Assistant Librarian is not digitised but I do have a link to the organisation it operates under
I can do nothing today but I will follow up on all 3 points
Thank you and hopefully see you tomorrow

Great—thanks! I have Assistant Librarian coming through ILL but it's taking a while. We'll also want to add reliable, secondary source citations for all claims in the article or remove them (for now) until we can. czar 00:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Czar - I've added a digital link to the Bookseller article from The British Newspaper Archive - ditto very slow and clunky but it seems to work, off to Peace News now More later Mornington Glory (talk) 09:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly the Peace News archive only goes back to December 2000, therefore not possible to have a digital link
I expect someone had a photocopy - remember those? of the article, it may be in the Grass Roots archive at Manchester Archive or held with the article in the North West Labour History Society journal (less likely)
Anything else I can try?

Ah, how did you know what was in it without a copy? I can request it via the library but we would just need the full citation (issue, page number, section name). czar 14:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
